The long-awaited return of Stranger Things has provided Netflix with a massive boost in the last week or so, according to its own stats, and the new season's first part has become its most-streamed English-language arrival ever. That means demand for merch and other extras is sky-high, something that Netflix historically hasn't always leant into.
After a quick teaser on YouTube shorts, embedded below, you'll soon be able to pre-order the kit through Lego directly, and doing so between 1 and 7 January will get you a little freebie in the form of a WSQK radio station set, also from the show.
The house was the site of the troubled childhood of Henry Creel, son of Victor Creel – with Henry being the young boy who'd eventually be transformed into the series' big baddie, Vecna. It's basically a prototypical haunted house, full of scary corners and one extremely menacing grandfather clock.
The kids repeatedly had to explore this hellhole of a house to help lift a curse on their friend Max, as you might remember, and it's one of only a few locations to really recur multiple times in the series, which has otherwise jumped around a fair amount. Crucially, you get a whole heap of minifigures in the kit, along with Steve’s car, the WSQK radio van and Will’s bicycle.
The house will apparently hide plenty of secrets, including a removable floor to reveal Vecna's lair, and you get a minifigure of Vecna himself to add to the fun. It looks like it'll offer up quite a varied build, thanks to those different elements, and totals 2,593 pieces, which is nothing to sniff at.
At £249.99, this isn't a cheap display set, but it's also not too bad compared to some other Lego sets with branded partnerships, on a per-brick basis. It'll be available to start pre-ordering from New Year's Day, which just so happens to be the day after the series finale airs – almost like this was all planned out.
